First wall goes up today
It is all action at Edgewater College.
Excitement builds as the crane lifts the first wall sections of our new learning space building off the truck and into position.
Blast from the past ...
Fantastic to see our old friend Troy on our last day of term.
Troy has finished his school year in Australia and has come to holiday with his New Zealand family. He visited class to catch up with his old classmates and to wish us a happy holiday.

Technology - Life Hacks
Well friend, the people of the internet are about to blow your mind. These 10 life hacks are sure to make you smack your forehead and scream “why didn’t I know this before!?” For example, did you know that if you want to make a bbq and forget your lighting fluid you can use a handful of potato chips instead? Chips have quite a bit of fat in them, making them very flammable. Or did you ever struggle trying to cut open a kiwi? You probably used a knife wasting much of the food, but the best way to do it is by simply using a spoon!
Watch these and many more awesome tricks in the following video. And make sure you watch to the very end to see the plastic bag hack!
